Connecting Jeopardy the App. to the classroom

As a teacher, (assuming I have the appropriate technology available) I could plug my i phone or i pad into the computer and project the Jeopardy game onto the smart board or projector screen. I caould have the class interact with this game answering questions and keeping points. I could do such things as...
  • break them into teams in order to answer the questions
  • have them write down their answers individually
  • I could Have the children come up with their own questions about what we are currently studying.

Connecting Jeopardy the App. to technology (if it is not a technology enhanced game)
